Trusted devices and face matching
You can set your device to stay unlocked while connected to a
Bluetooth device—like a watch, tness tracker, headset, or car
speaker system. You can also set your device to unlock when it
touches an NFC tag.
You can also have your device unlock when it recognizes your
face. After setting a trusted face, every time you turn on your
device, it will search for your face and unlock if it recognizes you.
Keep in mind that someone who looks similar to you could unlock
your tablet.
Note: Face matching doesn’t store any photos of you. Data used to
recognize your face is only stored on your device and is not acces-
sible by apps or backed up on Google servers.
Protect against harmful apps
Apps from Google Play are always veried by Google to protect
you and your device from harm. By default, your device doesn’t al-
low the installation of apps from sources other than Google Play.
If you choose to allow the installation of apps from unknown
sources and install apps from sources other than Google Play, it’s
more likely that apps will be installed that could harm you or your
device.
If you allow the installation of apps from unknown sources, the
Verify Apps feature protects you when installing apps outside
of Google Play by continually checking your device to make sure
that all apps installed are behaving in a safe manner, even after
installation.
